an update for you guys on 19B, i have contacted the representative for sigelei, the only changes they made in 19B is the head (flower design)

other is 100% same as 19A

Yeah, thats what I figured. Co-Op going on right now, for just the heads. Im thinking the 19b heads will swap around with the #8 & #13..Anyone know for sure?

Removed the spring and adjusted the height of the bottom post as described by Rader on my #8. I use the aforementioned AW 2000mah 18650 and ran into an issue where if I screwed the bottom post out enough to make contact with the battery, the button pin hit below the brass barrel. I lowered it back down where the button would make contact again but raised as high as possible. This worked on a Trustfire flame battery but thats such a crappy battery that the drop off went to .73v.

I went back to the AW and added a couple of small GG button magnets that I had to the nipple of the AW and tweaked until all fit snug but not over tight. Drop off now is .26 with a 1.1 ohm coil which I can live with and a great improvement from the .48 I had before removing the spring.

I think I will still make a stop by the hardware and peruse and brass they might have to try to eliminate the magnets but much better now even as is.

My 19a head fits my 13 and vise versa, so it shouldnt be any different with the 8 and 19b. The pin hieght is a little longer in the 19 though, so you might have a gap in 18350 mode.

I use Panasonic CGR's, AW's are just a hair shorter. I'm not a big fan of magnets in mech mods, there is the possibility for them to move around in a bad way. If you can't get what you need, or don't have the means to get the nuts n' bolt to work, shoot me a PM. I might have turned an extra set of nuts just in case. ;)

Ok, I finished my project. It works with my AGA-T+'s. For the RSST I will either have to screw the pos post down further or make a plastic or rubber isolator to cover the neg connection.

I searched and searched the thread, but could not find the page that had a picture of the #8's button completely disassembled. I FINALLY got the dang button off the body scratched the edged of the button a bit, nothing a bit of sanding won't take care of, but my question is how do I disassemble it from this point? I was getting a hot button issue sanding the end of the pin down some took care of this but I'd like to completely sand and reveal the brass on the button assembly if possible. Help? Or point me to the page either or is fine. Thanks in advance!

I think these Sigelei mech mods should come with a disclaimer. Something like, "While this mod may outperform many high end mods, it also may not work and will require several hours in a machine shop before you're able to vape. Good luck."

My 13a just sits there, refusing nothing, vaping smooth. My 19, however, just keeps giving me the finger.

As much as I would love to talk smack on China, I have had several US made mods that would miss-fire, and had various issues. I do understand though.
